What Was It?

Mishka was a Siberian Husky whose owner, Matt Gardea, filmed her "talking". In her most famous video, posted on February 7, 2008, she vocalizes in a way that sounds very much like "I love you."

The clip made her an internet sensation. Another favourite showed her giving an emphatic "Nooooo" when asked if she was stupid. Gardea's channel grew to hundreds of videos featuring Mishka and the family's other dogs, including her sister Laika, also a talking husky.

Her name means "teddy bear" in Russian. As her fame grew, Mishka appeared on several TV talk shows, starred in commercials and was featured in Hollywood movies.
